REVIEW – Cooking with steam is a very old method. It’s probably not the first, but I’m sure it was soon after we learned that tossing stuff over an open fire made things tastier. Our current technology has brought this ancient method into the modern kitchen in forms old and new: steamer baskets for your …

REVIEW – I had given up on robovacs. After trying several, they would get stuck in corners, I had trouble with their corresponding apps, and they just didn’t clean all that well. Plus, their tiny dust cartridges were no match for my pups’ dog hair. However, I’ve been using my Roborock stick vacuum daily for …
REVIEW – I really didn’t care about headsets until everyone was videoconferencing from home. Generally, headset microphones sound better to your audience than the one built into your laptop, and the on-ear speaker gives you listening privacy. The ESKA H5 headset boasts “AI-Powered” noise reduction in a professional-looking package. What is it? The model H5 …
REVIEW – The title of this review pretty much says it all—how does anyone live without a pressure washer? I’ve used various pressure washers over the years.

REVIEW – At this point, all of the readers who have seen my reviews know that I just love landscape lights. I would love to be able to tell you some story behind why I grabbed the opportunity to review these Linkind Solar Pathway Lights, but one does not exist. I just love the feel …
REVIEW – The RIG 800 Pro HS gaming headset is a comfy over-the-ear gaming headset with a great mic. But how do they sound? Well, sit a spell and I’ll tell you. What is it? The RIG 800 Pro HS is a gaming headset with some great features that can’t overcome its audio issues to …

REVIEW – Replicators are no longer just something that you see in sci-fi movies anymore. With a 3D printer, you can imagine something, model it, and print it. If you’ve wanted to jump into 3D printing but haven’t made the leap because you feared it would be too hard to figure out, I have a …

REVIEW – One of the most common things I’ve been hearing lately is that “sitting is killing us”. Yes, I am friends with some eccentric people, and no I do not think my couch is from another planet waiting to eat me. But in the time that “work from home” became a necessity, I’ve noticed …
REVIEW – When you’re too Scottish to wear an apron, you need to get a GRILLKILT to keep you clean and organized while cooking outdoors. As a connoisseur of both traditional and modern kilts, I was intrigued with the offer to review a GRILLKILT came up. What is it? The GRILLKILT is an alternative to …

REVIEW – With the current supply chain issues and the general rising cost of goods and services, there has been a lot of focus lately on the “right to repair” for consumers. I’m a huge DIY advocate especially when it comes to automotive repairs but I’m often limited in what I can do by the …

REVIEW – It would be quite understandable if the phrase “home gym” brought to mind images of equipment that needs it’s own room. Treadmills, exercise bikes and weight sets don’t exactly play nice with clean living rooms aesthetics. Tempo realized this and set out to build a solution that arguably looks out of place in …

REVIEW – Briefcases are hit or miss for me. I often find them to be too small for my needs, too big to be practical, or built around odd styling. So here comes the Waterfield Agile Briefcase to challenge my thinking. It’s pretty. It’s functional. It’s from Waterfield, who makes some of the best bags …
